SPECTRAL IRRADIANCE CALIBRATION IN THE INFRARED .4. 1.2-35 MU-M SPECTRA OF 6 STANDARD STARS

We present five new absolutely calibrated continuous stellar spectra from 1.2 to 35 μm, constructed as far as possible from actual observed spectral fragments taken from the ground, the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO), and the IRAS Low Resolution Spectrometer (LRS). These stars - β Peg, α Boo, β And, β Gem, and α Hya - augment our already created complete absolutely calibrated specrum for α Tau. All these spectra have a common calibration pedigree. The wavelength coverage is ideal for calibration of many existing and proposed ground-based, airborne, and satellite sensors. © 1995 American Astronomical Society.
